I’m just a tad late, but Shanimuni Paradise’s 2nd birthday passed this last July. So, uh… happy five-months-late 2nd anniversary to my blog! It’s my baby and I’m so glad I’ve kept up this long~! Here’s to another at this point, half year!!

(PS- Almost 100,000 hits! Wow! Thanks guys! :D)

When Tsunku first announced the Hello! Project-wide wedding-themed cover album, I thought, “Wow, another weird, crazy, pointless Tsunku decision,” and wasn’t looking forward to it at all. But the full tracklist was just released. And holy poo. Is it ever worth looking forward too.

Morning Musume’s 39th single, ‘Shouganai Yume Oibito,’ has stolen the number one on the weekly Oricon charts. Unlike most people who see this as “Wow, it’s been a whole two years since they got a number 1! It’s about time!” I’m seeing this all as: “I didn’t think it could happen, but the Pandas garnered the number one spot.” Of course, this is also the first number one for Takahashi as leader and a well-deserved reward for the longest lineup in Morning Musume’s history.

Oh, hei, look Tsunku: a decent PV does help sales. Ha. Go figure. Wish we could have figured that out a couple years ago. Durn.

PS – Anyone wanna fly me out to LA? I want to see them so bad it isn’t even funny (I still will this summer, but I want to see their US debut more than just a regular concert).

Happy 2nd Cake Day, International Wota!! In celebration, I made a cake about a week ago (the only week I haven’t been sick in the past month, and thus, the only week I was allowed to be in the kitchen). It was a chocolate covered cherry cake garnished with fresh strawberries.

Hello!°C-ute recently uploaded a radio preview of the new remix of Special Generation that’s going to be on Berryz Koubou’s 5th album, 5 (FIVE), which will be released in a week. I usually don’t like remixes too much, and I was really skeptical of this one because… well, why? And Special Generation is one of the (debatably) best Berryz songs ever released, so I was afraid they would kill it. But I think it’s honestly one of the best remixes I’ve ever heard.

Well, what I could hear of it, because the stupid radio show hosts were talking through most of it and you could barely hear it. But hear it you could. And it was so worth downloading.

If you want to give it a listen, the download is over yonder at Hello!°C-ute!
